Intermediate PostsThe cable should be supported in some manner no less than every 48" along its run to keep the cable rungs from spreading.

A typical cable brace is 1/4" thick by 1" wide made of steel (to be painted) or stainless steel. Intermediate posts are available on special order (see page 36).
